iTunes: Adjusting genre?

Hey guys, got another n00b questions regarding the wonderful world of Mac. Whilst archiving more CDs I've been noticing that the genre iTunes uses aren't entirely correct. I mean it's no big deal really but it's kinna odd when I want to listen to some Reverend Horton Heat and I have to go to my "country" genre when browsing. However I can see why they may have stuck the Rev. in country. So, is there anyway to change it?

Thanks again guys! :eek:

Sure, to edit the ID3 tags (a standard for storing the info on musical tracks), just select a track and ctrl-click (or right-click / shortcut: apple-i) and select 'Get Info'.

There select the 'info' tab and edit the information as you want.

You can also select multiple songs (shift-click) and edit information for all of them.

So in your case, select Rev. Heat in the artists browsing area, then press apple+a to select all tracks by him. Ctrl-click to edit the genre for all those tracks...

Sweet! Man you guys rule! :D

Edit: iTunes Rocks! I was even able to change it to Rockabilly by selecting "Custom"! So does this then change the ID3 tag as well?
